All Chapters of BLOODLINE OF THE MOON : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

JAKE'S POVI sat in my chair, biting down my lower lip. My jaw and fist clenched while rocking my seat back and forth. My eyes stared into space, yet nothing was in focus. Several thoughts ran through my mind as I slowly tapped my fingers on the armrest.As much as I had something pointing to Damon as the black sheep, I couldn't bring myself to believe Damon was the mole. Damon had been my right-hand man even before I became an Alpha. He has been loyal, so loyal to a fault. How could this be true? Maybe I was being paranoid. Maybe the weight of all these dramas was messing with my mental state.On the other hand, as an Alpha, I couldn’t afford to show weakness or any soft spot. The pack was watching, and my decisions had to be firm, even if they tore me apart inside.The door flew open, and Lisa, Damon's mate stormed in, her face streaked with tears making her eyes puffy. She fell to her knees with her hands held together, pleading for mercy.“Alpha Jake, please I beg of you,” she yel

DERRICK’S POVI walked into the chamber in calculated steps, my mind reading the surroundings trying to figure out if I had been compromised. But how could I be? I made sure I left no traces, no trail! Beta Damon had been held accountable for Randy's death so, I had nothing to fear.I took a seat at the edge of the table and slightly adjusted my collar, careful not to expose the spot Randy had ripped open while he struggled for his life. I watched as Jake took his seat at the head of the table; a spot I have coveted all my life. A spot I could kill for.Braun’s hatred for Alpha Jake was the perfect way to get through with my plan. No one would be able to trace it back to me. But with Randy’s capture, I had to do something before he spilled the bean.I glanced at the faces of other members for clues as to why this meeting was called but they were blank, confused, and curious as I was.“I want to thank you all for making it here. I apologize for the short notice,” Jake began. “There has

JAKE'S POVThere was silence in the room as the unknown figure walked in. All eyes fell on him. Who could that be? I thought and why would the guards let him in without informing me first? I think they no longer cherish their jobs. I moved closer to make out what or who he was but he wore a ninja mask across his face.“One more step and you wouldn’t use those legs anymore,” I thundered.He uttered no word, making me more nervous. Who is this with so much audacity walking into my house like he owned it?He halted and slowly reached for the mask across his face. I instinctively held the edge of my silver-coated dagger just in case he made a threatening move. “What?” My expression darkened as he pulled off the mask across his face. “Braun! How dare you?” My fingers folded into a fist causing my vision to blur with anger. I moved before I could think. Lucio growled in my head, and in a split second, I was already on him. The first punch landed on his nose causing blood to trickle from hi

LYRA’S POVThe vibration from his voice sent shivers down my spine. I thought he would still be up in his room. I wanted to be long gone before he'd realize. I stood still, my back still turned at him. Should I respond or should I just walk out on him? My thoughts clashed inside of me as I gripped hard on my luggage.“Where do you think you are going by this time of the night?” He asked again. At this point, I was not sure what his tone was. Was it Concern, Remorse, or Anger? I swallowed hard before slowly turning around, my eyes locked onto his. “Somewhere away from your sickening secrets!” I lashed out at him. I felt my stomach drop after that statement; I had stepped beyond the boundaries of words I could say to him. What was going to be his reaction? My body shivered yet I remained composed.He stood, speechless. I had expected him to say something, perhaps plead with me not to leave or at least explain to me why he was building a wall between us, but no word came forth. I turn

JAKE’S POVI woke up next to one of the most beautiful views any man would wish for. Lyra’s body curled up beside me, perfectly outlining her contours, her messy hair from last night slightly falling over her face. The morning light fell on her face, radiating her beauty. Her lips slightly parted, and her chest rising and falling in sync with her breathing as she lay peacefully, fast asleep.The scar on my chest had begun to tingle. A ticking time bomb wrapped around my soul. And with the full-blood moon fast approaching, I was running out of time. I wish she could understand why I’m distant from her. But how could she? I still haven't found the right words to explain to her. To make her understand the real reason isn't because of Alisha or out of hatred or dislike for her like she felt it was. “This is for your own safety, Lyra,” I whispered, slowly pushing off the strands of hair off her face, placing a kiss on her forehead. She grunted in her sleep rolling over to her other side
